About us
(Formerly Seattle Social Painting Night)
### What is the purpose of this group?
Seattle Social Art Collective is a community-driven gathering space for people who want to experience art socially — not just view it.
Hosted in collaboration with Gallery B612 in Seattle’s Pioneer Square and SoDo districts, this group brings together artists, creatives, collectors, and curious minds through:
- Hands-on workshops
- ️ Social painting nights
- ️ Artist talks & creative dialogues
- Pioneer Square Art Walk gatherings
- Dance performances & interdisciplinary showcases
- Special themed pop-ups & cultural events
Our purpose is simple:
To create meaningful connection through art.
We believe art is not passive. It is something you step into, create with, move with, and talk about.
***
### Who should join?
This group is for:
- Emerging artists looking for community
- Creatives who want consistent inspiration
- Professionals who need a cultural reset
- Art lovers who prefer conversation over small talk
- Anyone curious about Seattle’s contemporary art scene
- People who want more than just a “paint and sip” — but something deeper
You do NOT need to be an artist to join.
You just need to be open.
***
### Why join?
Because art feels different when experienced together.
At Gallery B612 – Pioneer Square, you’ll experience curated exhibitions in Seattle’s historic arts district, often paired with artist talks, receptions, and art walk evenings.
At Gallery B612 – SoDo, the energy is more experimental and emerging — featuring immersive workshops, interdisciplinary collaborations, and evolving creative programs.
This group gives you access to both worlds:
- Intimate creative gatherings
- Cross-cultural contemporary art
- A welcoming but elevated social atmosphere
- A growing network of thoughtful, creative people
Seattle has many events.
This is about belonging.

Wait—what is O-Jak Bridge Art & Dance Festival?
The O-Jak Bridge Art & Dance Festival is a multidisciplinary arts festival in Seattle that brings together dance, visual art, music, and cultural storytelling.
Founded in 2022, O-Jak is now entering its 5th year, growing into a vibrant annual platform for artists across cultures and disciplines. The festival features diverse choreographers, visual artists, and performers from the Seattle community and beyond.
Each year, O-Jak presents an immersive, story-driven experience that blends contemporary and traditional elements, building a bridge between cultures, artistic forms, and audiences.“O-Jak” refers to “Ojakgyo,” a bridge from a Korean folktale where magpies and crows form a bridge in the sky to reunite two separated lovers. It symbolizes connection—bringing together what was once apart.
Like this story, O-Jak is a day when we come together—crossing boundaries between artistic disciplines and bridging Eastern and Western cultures—to meet, connect, and celebrate through art.***
